Subtitled Matrix Revolutions...

From: subtitles @ your local cinema

Subtitled Matrix Revolutions (tbc - most likely 15 cert):

Over 100 cinemas will be screening this film with subtitles!

The third and final part of the Matrix trilogy is available to cinemas, in
the 'open subtitled' format. This means that every cinema in the UK can
screen it - the subtitles are 'etched' onto the actual print.

Odeon, UGC and Cineworld schedules available on the website. We are
expecting schedules from Warner Village and UCI cinemas very soon - watch
the website. Is your local cinema there? If not, ask them to to book a
print!

Return of the King:
In response to the numerous enquiries regarding the third and final part of
the Lord of the Rings trilogy: The first two films were available in the
'digital format only', so expect this one to be too. The latest news from
the people responsible is that it's "more than highly likely that the third
part of the trilogy will also be subtitled".
Watch the website for the latest info...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Subtitled versions of all films below are available to cinemas, but only in
the new 'digital subtitle' format. This means that only 26 UK cinemas can
screen them. These cinemas can screen the film whenever they like, as many
times as they like, because the digital subtitles are projected over a
'normal' print of the film.

The films are not available in the older 'open subtitled' format - which
every UK cinema can screen (like Matrix Revolutions). Films available in the
'open subtitled' format have the subtitles 'etched' onto the actual print.

Latest News:

It's official - the UK Film Council have allocated £350,000 in grants to
equip approximately 10% of all cinemas in England with digital subtitling
and audio description equipment, to meet the increasing demand in accessible
cinema-going for audiences.

Cinemas now have an opportunity to become fully accessible to people with
sensory impairments for very little financial outlay. Your local cinema can
apply and it is hoped that eventually around 100 cinemas will be equipped
with subtitle equipment - watch this space for news.

In the meantime plase ask your local cinema to consider becoming accessible.

PLEASE READ THIS!
Subtitles @ Your Local Cinema receive subtitled listings information
directly from cinema head offices, but we can take NO responsibility for
postponed or cancelled shows. If cinemas inform us of changes, we will tell
you via the website. If they don't inform us, we can't inform you.

Many cinemas schedules are "SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTIFICATION".
Sometimes a subtitled film is not delivered to the cinema on time and cannot
be screened.

The only way to be 100% sure is to ALWAYS check with the ACTUAL cinema
before you plan a visit. But DOUBLE check, preferably with a manager. NEVER
turn up without getting confirmation that a show is definitely on.

Many people have been enquiring as to what exactly is going on with UK
subtitled cinema:

"Why do we have to travel 50 miles to catch one?"
"Why are some available films never screened?"
"Why can't my local cinema screen the latest subtitled releases?"

Let us explain...

An estimated 5 million people in the UK use subtitles to enjoy films and
although subtitles are the norm on TV, DVD and video, silent movies are
still the norm at the cinema, but without the old captions that helped to
explain the plot. Deaf people are generally excluded from the popular social
activity of cinemagoing...
